About the College (CTCMPAO)

The College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO) is the regulatory body established by the provincial government to oversee the practice of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and acupuncture in Ontario. Our core mandate is to protect the public interest by ensuring that all registered practitioners deliver safe, ethical, and competent care. We achieve this by setting strict standards of practice, managing a rigorous quality assurance program, and providing accessible educational resources. By partnering with us on this project, you will play a direct role in enhancing public safety and breaking down barriers to understanding complex health regulations.
